SAMMY HAGAR - NEAL SCHON - KENNY AARONSON - MICHAEL SHRIEVE - "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" / (b-side is blank - read below)    
(Geffen) Original 12" first press 1984 Promo 12" single (never been played)  

NOTE: The b-side of this rare promo is blank. On that blank side, autographs of all 4 members (along with the HSAS logo) are laser etched into the vinyl. The last three pics included in this listing try to give you an idea of what it looks like (it doesn't transfer to photo well because of my room reflections). The first pic is a normal shot of that side. The 2nd to last pic is a 'negative' shot - that shows the etchings a bit more clear and the last shot is the same pic with the autographs circled and identified by myself on the photo. They are 'very' easy to see in 'real life'. Very cool idea - and one I haven't seen since in a 12" promo. 

Visually graded condition of disc:  Near Mint  (Unplayed)   
Sleeve has very light shelf wear. Use zoom feature on cover pic to take a look.

NO 'BEST OFFERS' ACCEPTED




Continuing with the liquidation of my record collection passing them on to people who can more appreciate them. These are items from my collection of nearly 40,000 promo singles, LP's & CD's from the 60's thru the 90's that I was fortunate to acquire from doing 37 years of on-air Rock Radio.

All of my records are guaranteed original pressings unless otherwise noted.
In the 80's I advertised and auctioned off thousands of records in Goldmine magazine under the name of Hemp's Hits.
If you are a previous customer, you already know of my integrity as an honest dealer.
Those of you who are not familiar with me need only to check my Feedback.
You can bid and buy with complete confidence.

These records were sorted, stored, moved a few times, and then stored again for decades.
Some carefully, others were not.
All of my gradings are strictly visual, and more often than not, quite generous. However, because of various quality
in pressings, I cannot guarantee that the pressings themselves will be noise-free. That comes with the territory.
Many 50's (e.g. Chess, Vee-Jay, etc.) & 60's pressings, especially the small independent labels, were
pressed "on-the-cheap" and are somewhat noisy even at NrMint.

Sorry...I do not create audio clips on request. If there is no audio clip attached, I don't have one.

MY GRADING SCALE
(very similar to the Goldmine standard)

NM (Near Mint): Record will show no serious scuffs or scratches in the playing area. May have minor scuffs on edges from decades of storage, or a small scuff, scratch or paper scuff on playing area.
It's near mint, not mint (which would be 'sealed' to me). There should be no audible distractions.
M- (Near Mint minus): A scuff or two or light scratch or two on either or both sides that may be heard.
VG+: Scuffs & some minor scratches in the playing area. Some will most likely be heard.
VG: Many scuffs or scratches that will be heard but record should still play fine.

Record grading is subjective. That's why I offer a money back guarantee on
everything I sell (no refunds on shipping charges).
